When creating the website, I decided to create a first draft in order to allow me to get to get to grips with the website 'Wix', as well as being able to explore different options before making a definite decision. When getting feedback from our target audience, I was told our website wasn't interactive enough and that the marble background was a bit 'tacky'. Additionally, there was certain parts of my website I didn't like in particular, for example the tour page, this was because it wasn't structured enough in my opinion. However, some of my target audience did enjoy my draft and thought I should keep developing the website. In my opinion, I wasn't keen on the colour scheme and the overall layout of the website, due to the fact it didn't correlate with other artists websites that Eleanor aspires to be like, e.g. Lana Del Rey. Lastly, there is not enough images of her, they are all from the same day. Thus, I felt I should make a new website because it doesn't give the fans enough about the artist.
Based on looking at fan websites and celebrities own websites we have taken characteristics that we think would best suit our artist. We have gone for a standard black and white colour scheme which is a recurring theme through out our research based on other similar artists (Lana Del Rey & Ed Sheeran) The layouts between the 2 design differ. The initial website design presents a less professional and suitable type of design where as the website I am in the making of now, presents a more professional style as if a youngster created it. After gaining feedback from fellow media students we have decided to pursue the ongoing website design of a black and white colour scheme. From this we will ensure our didi pack matches this theme and further changes will be made to develop the website to the top standards, allowing it to seem professional and realistic for our artist.
I have created several tabs on the website and hyper links to social media accounts that Eleanor would have which will keep her involved with her fans so they can follow what she does for example Twitter, Instagram and Facebook which many artists have on their websites.Additionally, once Eleanor's music video and album cover are finished, I will add them on her website to speculate even more attention for her to become a success. The tour dates are shown on the website along with a whole section dedicated to Eleanor's Merchandise which directly links to a website laid out like a shop which fans can access to follow the latest trends of Eleanor herself.
